| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Wednesday, October 8th, 2025. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.2 | We're sponsored this week by Backblaze. |
| 0:12.1 | Leading off today, Apple is rolling out a server-side fix for iPhone 17 and iPhone Air models |
| 0:17.6 | that were unable to download Apple intelligence features. This update comes after some |
| 0:23.4 | iPhone 17 users were completely unable to use Apple intelligence features since the devices were |
| 0:29.3 | released almost three weeks ago. If you were affected by this problem, there's nothing you need to do. |

| 1:36.6 | of the independent F-1 TV streaming service in the United States. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Apple, |
| 1:43.1 | who would be paying upwards of $150 million a |
| 1:46.1 | year for the rights, once streaming exclusivity, and therefore F1 TV to be shut down in the U.S. |
| 1:53.6 | However, the service is profitable for F1 and is widely beloved by hardcore fans, with seemingly |
| 1:59.6 | low rates of cannibalization compared to the audience |
| 2:02.6 | that, up until now, watched on ESPN. Apparently, the discussion on this point has gone |
| 2:07.5 | back and forth between the two parties a few times, which explains why it has taken so long |
